Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 99 F.3d 1143 (8th Cir. 1996) Submitted: Oct. 2, 1996Filed: Oct. 7, 1996

Before BEAM, HANSEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Gerald Buchanan appeals the district court's1  dismissal of his complaint for lack of jurisdiction. On appeal, Buchanan argues that the district court erred in holding the Eleventh Amendment barred his action against Minnesota. As we conclude the district court correctly applied well-settled principles of law, an opinion would lack precedential value. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
